Title: Do anticoagulants interact with the COVID vaccine?
Post by: EvaH on 14/12/2020 16:37:52

Steph says:

I've heard that people who take anticoagulants might have problems with the vaccine. If so, what, and why?

Can you help?

Hello Steph!

Sorry for the Delay in Responding.

" Risk of blood clots with COVID-19 vaccination.  "

" PublicHealth England (PHE) has highlighted reports of a very rare condition involving blood clots and unusual bleeding after vaccination. The risk appears to be higher in people who have had the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, is seen slightly more often in younger people, and tends to occur between 4 days and 4 weeks following vaccination. This is being actively monitored for all COVID-19 vaccines. "

" The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine information for healthcare professionals has been updated to reflect special warnings, precautions and contraindications related to thrombocytopenia and coagulation disorders. "
